Around 1600 people are diagnosed with brain cancer in Australia annually and approximately 1200 die from the disease every year. Brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other disease and more people under 40 than any other cancer. Cure Brain Cancer Foundation was founded in 2001 by renowned neurosurgeon Professor Charlie Teo. The Foundation is dedicated to accelerating the development of new treatments to increase five-year to survival from the current 20% to 50% by 2023.

Under 4 hours is a great aim, I wish you luck! I could only manage around 4:15:00 when I did a marathon, although it was very hilly (Great Ocean Rd), with around 4:35:00 for the full 45k course - and it's still the proudest (and hardest!!!) achievement of my life.

Good luck!!

The best bit is knowing you can eat whatever the **** you want afterwards and not make a dent restoring the calories lost. Like the true athlete I am I went straight to the Apollo Bay pub afterwards and had 3 pints and a burger the size of my head and it was incredible!
